The Kremlin has promised to respond to the EU's decision on Russian assets
The Kremlin commented on the EU's decision to use the proceeds from frozen Russian assets to purchase weapons.
According to the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, this money is essentially being stolen.
He explained that these funds are being used to purchase weapons, which cannot go unanswered by the Russian Federation.
Moscow will explore the possibility of legal prosecution of people involved in the confiscation of assets.
Peskov believes that the EU's decisions contradict international law and violate property rights.
Earlier, the EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, said that the EU would use the proceeds from frozen Russian assets to purchase weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The income from EU assets will be used to pay off G7 loans allocated to Ukrainians.
In the West, Russia's reserves of approximately 300 billion euros remain frozen.
